📺 Clarkson's Farm
One of the most enjoyable and educational shows I’ve watched in a while. Hilarious characters who demonstrate how difficult and thankless farming can be.
Some things I’ve learned:
- How a cultivator works
- How exact tractor rows need to be
- How heavy rain or weeks of drought affect the farming schedule
- The many regulations farmers face — from registering each field with its crops, to sanitrary requirements, to land use regs
- How necessary government subsidies for farming are, especially for less hearty crops
After a year of dawn to dusk tractoring, Season 1 ends with an unbelievably slim profit margin. Very worth a watch.
